[quote=Anonymous]This is the stage in life you are in right now OP.  It will be incredibly difficult for a little while and then it will change.  Blaming your mother for not stepping up or for not babysitting isn't going to change the fact that you are in a challenging emotional state.

Has your mom always been vacant towards your emotions?  Through childhood, through the teen years, college, etc?  Has she always not been there for you?

If that's the case, then you shouldn't expect more at this point.

If that's not the case, then you should understand that this must be an area where she can not get emotionally involved for the sake of her own mental well being.  If she's always been a good mother to you, but can't do it in this one instance then have some compassion for her as well for it must be a very crucial decision for her too.

I think it's sad that you and your sister want nothing to do with her because she has not come through for you during one period of time in your life throwing out all the other times in your life that she has.  No one is perfect, not even mothers.  [/quote]
